Title:
  Proofreading & comments on Help documentation

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  New

Bug description:
  Openshot v1.4.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx, installed via PPA.
  (Older version previously installed via Synaptic and removed with
  "Complete Removal".)

  I've just been reading the Help files, as a newcomer and
  "documentation enthusiast" :-)  Some things caught my attention, so I
  thought I'd flag them up.  A few are about the actual information,
  some are just typos.

  a) None of my "help" file was pictures - it was all text & tables.
  Sometimes it refers to illustrations, so I guess there ought to have
  been some...?

  b) Part 4.1 Overview.

  Item 2 - Function Tabs - the text is "Copy text   	 Switch between Project Files, Transitions, and Effects."
  Item 3 - Project Files - the text is "Switch between Project Files, Transitions, and Effects."

  This looks to me like a leftover of some updating or something :-)

  c) Part 6.9 Save Project screen.

  Item 3 - Project Length - the text is "The maximum length of the
  timeline.  However, the length of the timeline will automatically
  grow, if and when clips exceed the length."

  I'm not sure what this means.  If the clips exceed _this_ length, it
  isn't the maximum, is it?  I'm thinking maybe you must mean something
  like "The length of the timeline will automatically grow as you add
  clips, up to this maximum."  (If that _is_ what you mean, you might
  want another sentence which says what happens if you try to add a clip
  beyond the maximum length.)

  d) Import Files – Audio, Video, and Images

  I'd have liked to be told here whether the files I import will be
  saved as part of the project, or whether the project is simply
  referring to files external to itself.

  e) Part 12.2. Only the Audio.

  A minor proof-reading point:  in "click the eye  icon on the track",
  you have two spaces in between "eye" and "icon".

  f) 14.5. Speed Tab

  "The advanced tab let's you set...":  should be "lets".

  g) 15.3. Manually

  "The following properties are affected by key-frames:  Height, Wight,
  X, Y, and Alpha."  Is there such a thing as "Wight" that I've never
  heard of, or is that a typo for "Width"?

  h) 18.4.3. Animate Each Title

  "(as show in the illustration)":  should be "shown".  (But as I said
  above, I didn't get any illustrations.)

  i) Upload Video

  "Choose a video file to upload to YouTube.  Be sure it's a compatible
  format with YouTube first, or it might not work correctly."

  I'm guessing the Vimeo option was added later?  I suggest "Choose a
  video file to upload to YouTube or Vimeo.  Be sure that your video's
  format is compatible with the destination, or it might not work
  correctly."

  j) Layout of the help manual:  where the page of info is shorter than
  the index on the right, I would prefer not to have to move to the
  bottom of the page before being able to click on the "next" link.  I'd
  like to have the next & previous links at the top as well.  But I
  don't know if you can do anything about that.

  h.t.h. :-)
